    Salmon Plate
    Will K.

    All this food for $17!! Which is really good for it being in town. Well seasoned and I love adding the lemon juice on top of it for extra zest! Banchan is amazing, kimchi, fish cake, and salad all flavorful. Great service and came out pretty fast.

    Cute little convenience store/Korean food joint. Clean, nice people and the food came out quickly. Ordered a steak plate and it was more than enough for two meals. The banchan was tasty and the steak was nicely seasoned.

    Category as Korean, Fast Food, Barbeque is putting it mildly... Rainbow BBQ is a lovely simple name though what you call it is much more complicated as this shop is filled with basically a little bit of everything from bentos to Yerba Mate the variety here is quite impressive as I happen to come across here. It probably started as a Korean bento with all the usual Kalbi, Meat Jun, Chicken, Salmon and Mandoo soup they do also have grab and go bentos along with every type of drinks galore, snacks, chips, candies and even a few personal items as well as breakfast is 7am-10am and lunch is from 11am-2pm. This convenience store with such friendly staff is a great place to take a break and I'm sure you pretty much will find what you need. Thank you!

    Spicy Pork Bento!

    I love the flavor of this Spicy Pork..it's really sweet and spicy. I LOVE IT! I also love their mandu and Korean Ramen! It's really satisfying

    Grab and go bento

    Located in Restaurant Row, Rainbow BBQ serves to fulfill your Korean food cravings during your lunch break. If you are in a crunch for time, they also do have grab and go bentos to choose from. After roaming through the area for lunch, I opted to come in to this restaurant and snagged a bento. The bulgogi was cooked and seasoned perfectly however, the katsu fell short as it was soggy and dry. But don't let this dissuade you. I would come back and order another item on the menu. The restaurant also serves as a convenience store filled with snacks, drinks, and basically things that you can find at a 7-11. There is also a microwave that you can use to heat up your home lunch. And the staff there are really nice and are friendly.

    Kalbi. Too sweet like candy.
    Kathy L.

    The new owners seem to be much friendlier but I tried their kalbi plate and the meat was almost as sweet as candy. I wanted to try a combo plate of both their kalbi and spicy pork but was old that the kalbi can only be sold separately as it's own plate. Their side salad was very plain with an Italian dressing which did not go well with the rest of the dish. Would be better if they offered a mac salad. I may or may not be back to try their mini spicy pork.

    Perfect lunch or early dinner for Korean food. Huge portions and super tasty. Great for take home or for grabbing while coming to the federal building for your appointments. Plenty of paid parking and plenty of outdoor seating. Loads of drink options too. Great overall location.

    Kalbi plate
    Trix Q.

    The food was awesome for the price 100 percent. The presentation was as good as the food. I got me a Kal-bi plate. Comes with rice three three bone kalbi. Salad with a vinegar dressing, Taegu that looks like tofu strips and Kim chew... everything was flavorful on plate. A bonus with this place is that it is a mini market with drinks and snacks... neat concept. The cashier was very nice.

    Wonderful location with both food and retail convenience store items. Tried a lot of things on our menu but my favorite is to ribeye steak at a very reasonable price around $17. Also picked up a couple drinks and a bag of chips to keep in my office. Looking forward to the next visit.

    I am now sold on Jollibee. The chicken is really good. Side of gravy included with every chicken…read moreorder... Oh Yeah. My fav is the 10 piece with two sides. I usually get mashed and fries. Why 2 potato thingys? Cause the chicken is the star, it's all good. Only drawback is the parking situation. But the ppl in the lot seem to know the situation and are very polite. I tend to order on the way there and go through the drive through to avoid parking. This is for the Kalihi shop. Super nice employees, and restrooms available.

    Jollibee Kalihi to Us is one of the Best Fastfood Restaurants..The food is always good and…read moredelicious.. The managers on duty like HAZEL and Cristina is one of the most Amazing Services that we always encounter whenever we go there..Their team with grace and empathy, even during the busiest rushes and make their crew/staff high-pressure job manageable..That one thing we love because the ambiance is positive always even if it's so busiest time, they managed it well.. Mark, Cecilia, purisima and the man cook( I forgot the name) is so Wonderful..The warm and greetings with a jolly smile Worthwhile even you can see that they tired already..we go there nearly Closing and it's so busy even in drive thru..They deserve to be recognized by doing their job well done..10/10 Rates and Mahalo Jollibee for always treating Us a Ohana..God Bless You Jollibee Kalihi..

    Never ate a this chain before, but it was so good I am glad I tried it. Got the chicken fingers…read more combo. The chicken was a delicious, moist white meet. They gave you a toasted butter roll which they provided a delicious dipping sauce. The fries were very good. The food was so fresh it was hard to hold the chicken because it was so hot.

    Happy National Fried Chicken Day…read more.. I just wanted to go to a place that does just that and Cane's Chicken Fingers is basically that as they sell in combos only has always been my biggest vice it's rather easy to order it's either chicken sandwich but for me it was chicken fingers which comes in 3, 4 or 6 I just got the 3 finger combo which comes with a cane's sauce, fries, Texas toast and drink. Placed my order then given a number and my cup pre filled with ice which took the moment to fill with either soft drinks or Cane's Iced Tea which is what I did just unsweetened was good and took a seat at one of many is what I do like about Raising Cane's and the decor and vibe is very friendly and vibrant as I got instantly greeted as soon as I walked in the door. Everything was very nice and fresh, fries were hot and crispy nothing really negative to say...just that it was boring for me personally and yes the order came rather fast making me think it was already made and kept warm didn't bother me the choices was very minimal and no other added flavors like hot and spicy or sauce options during this hot summer was made even on this National Fried Chicken Day.
